Hiya

I'm looking at building a new pc. Now the last time i built one was in 2008 and i'm a little out of touch with the new processors, chipsets etc and was looking for some advice.

It's going to be a mid-range gamer build.

I'd like it to be Intel, and i was thinking of an i5 but don't really now the differences between them.

I'd like the motherboard to be a Gigabyte - what's the difference between the P55 and H55?

As for memory, i have no preference, just nice stable memory.

I have the case and the hard disks sorted. The case will be a Fractal Design R3 and the hdd will be Intel X25-M SSD with a TB data drive.

As for the graphics, i was thinking a 5770 - are they any good?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks
